Red
Hot and Rio is a compilation of some of the finest talent in the World
including Everything But the Girl, Crystal Waters, George Michael,
Stereolab, Sting, PM Dawn, Maxwell, David Byrne, Antonio Carlos Jobim
and more to pay tribute to the compelling music of Brazil while
fighting an unwavering foe, AIDS.

Red Hot and Rio is by far the most stylish record of the year. It is
complex and cool. It must be listened to a few times in order to begin
to really appreciate that there is unbelievable talent intertwined
between the tracks. From Sting to David Byrne to PM Dawn to Crystal
Waters and many more this record is packed with staying power. The AIDS
cause is as every bit as good a reason to buy the record as the music
which means the record is damn good!
